Please move to a deserved place; perhaps the lounge if convenient. Like 50 years ago I heard as some evil storyfact. Rock salt (NaCl) bullets or filling shot shells with it causes the wound will never heal. Is that a myth ? Just curious.

Tried including garlic in the container, did not impair the formation of mould. Same with pieces of onion. And with both. 😟

Hello. Liquids and liquid electrolytes of many compositions have more or less electrical conductivity. Is the conductivity preserved if the electrolyte freezes ? -Say for a simple solution of sodium chloride-

Thanks. Like your detailed knowledge 😀 The water temperature I usually start the cold soak is ~15C (tap) and reproducibility little variance seems irrelevant, enjoying some days this way, some days that way variety. So am ready to get the spank from a chef that does not dare to deviate from the "norm"

Hi all. Done and tried it dozens of times. In a pot, put the dry pasta, barely cover with water and set fire until boils for 3 minutes. Works every time and never taste any difference with the "boil a lot of water first and when boiling, then add the pasta for 3 minutes" Are my taste buds dead or it is just another myth of having a lot of water wasting heat first ? Why ? I would guess that pasta in cold water first; starts hydration without wasting time until boils. Actually, am in doubt that the heating part improves the pasta. Hydrating in plain cold water for 30 minutes or as needed is a next test, no heat at all... Just warm to serve. Now you know am no cook, but I have to try contesting the establishment. 🙄

House numbers are. But seen a NN 1/2 a couple of times...🙂 The way I see it is the statician knowing the house number, selects the ages from the several possibilities.

Twins of 3 and a 4. Number 10 🤔 2, 3 and 6. Number 11 🤔 1, 4 , 9 Number 14 🤔 Twins of 2 and a 9 Number 13 🤔

Greetings. Those 19th century water coolers were made with porous ceramics or stone for the evaporation to lower a bit the temperature, is that right ? Then, the vessel surfaces were not to be glazed, as such would impair evaporation; is that right ? This shiny one may not be a genuine cooler, right ? Seen perhaps two in my life; and do not remember being glazed... Were their outside walls always moist when 'working' ?

Any guessy figure for combustion chamber pressure ?
Externet replied to Externet's topic in Engineering
Thanks. I should had made a better search before asking. Got several ranges now 🤔 : ---> ~8 Mpa : ---> And higher pressures : -
Any guessy figure for combustion chamber pressure ?
Externet replied to Externet's topic in Engineering
I thought the explosion would cause near 3000 psi... 🤔 (Subject is not about compression ratios nor temperature) -
Hello. At the explosion/expansion cycle of a plain internal combustion engine -no turbos/high performance/fancy fuels- what pressures ranges are typical ?

Hi. On a recent thread about microwaving steam, a graph posted has this portion : Is the word vapour valid only for the pink area left of the vertical red line by 100C ? and steam the correct word for the area at right of that vertical red line by 100C ? If I leave a glass of water under my bed for a couple of weeks; it will be dry. Water turned to vapour, was never exposed to over 100C. If the same glass of water was exposed to over 100C, it turned to steam, not vapour. Am I wrong ? Or should the graph say GAS instead; that depending on temperature it can be vapour or steam ?
-
Thank you. When water already reached boiling in a microwave oven (100C) but the oven is still 'on'; what is the energy doing to the water/pot/steam/air/contents, assuming the air and the pot are transparent unaffected by the microwaves, and walls are reflective ? What changes that boiling becomes more energetic ? Water cannot rise more its temperature, what else is happening ? The boiling bubbles are pure steam, right ?
-
Hello all. While cooking or just boiling water in a glass pot, the water boils limited to 100C; does the steam above the liquid surface bombarded with microwave energy rises above 100C ? In other words, what happens exposing steam to microwaves ?

2024 Presidential Election: Who should replace Joe Biden?
Externet replied to Alex_Krycek's topic in Politics
Would a swap in positions be beneficial to their party and elections ? Biden for vicepresident ? 🤔 -

Thanks. Abstaining of comments, the intention was just sharing images to the thread.
-
Was not a link but a inserted image. Trying a screenshot: And 'the same medicine' image as screenshot : (graphic image removed by mod)
-
Really ? Does anyone see it ? Is everyone not seeing it posted ? Seems Peterkin cannot either. The 'same medicine' or the 'trajectory' or both images ? 😳 Please someone tell...
-
Thanks. I believe the behavior of the contraption is not even understood by mostly the far easterns making them, giving it a flavor of mystery to convince themselves. Just like religion. It is the gods doing the pumping. So it must be true; and to be believed.
-
Thank you again, Spain 😇

Picture of the bullet trajectory...
-
Thanks. No electricity at the cistern location, for pumping, blowing or vacuuming, and not hermetic. Is 3m x 5m x 2m deep made of concrete blocks.

Please delete if improper to post. The same medicine applied.

Yesterday my farmer-background-style neighbor saw me watering plants with a bucket as my cistern was too low to siphon for irrigation, and told me to build the "container" sheeety pump. I asked him to build one for me and show me how it can work. Here I go again. Now it is trendy ? What is going on ? Doubt he will build one, but I will push him hard for it. And he says to do it with a bottle as 'container' 🙄 More of the same crap videos I do not understand... WTF? Export to speculations if deserved; but do not bring ram pumps to the mix, please.
